A threewheeler we have today. Not just a threewheeler, but a golden one. But this isn't about the bike, it's about the girl. If you like her? Come inside and look for yourself. She needs to be cheered up it looks like. You know a good joke?

After some practice on Friday, everyone hopped on a bus to go to "Tequila town" for an excursion and some tequila testing. The vibe got better and better until the storm came in and everyone jumped back in the bus. It rained all night long so it wasn't clear how the dirt ramps had held up.
